Anthem at E3 2018: major details and new gameplay footage revealed

Orville Steele

This will mean teaming up with three other players, wielding an arsenal of Javelin exosuits, each equipped with unique weapons and abilities. That's not entirely a bad thing, but it does make me a bit wary of how the final thing will control/feel as Andromeda wasn't exactly "tight" on its controls. The third person shooter is an open world continuous game that can be played simultaneously by up to four players. It looks attractive and the art style is reminiscent of Zelda Breath of the Wild.

EA took a second to address their public image after the Battlefront II controversies, admitting that they had to learn and grow from it. Movement enhancements, moveable defense emplacements, character customisation and the news that destructibility is making a big return are all key talking points.

EA is working on a Cloud-based game streaming service, made by a new EA team based out of Israel.

The big reveal from this segment, however, was the confirmation of a Battlefield V battle royale mode. "And we're really excited by the way the new Battlefield is shaping up". Battlefield 5 will absolutely be a big part of EA Play this year. The executive producer told the fan that "the game is designed around having a co-op experience in combat etc... and then having a more personal story in your hub".

However, Anthem differentiates itself by introducing hulking armour known as Javelins, which come in a variety of different flavours and offer heaps of customisation opportunities.

Halo Infinite Announced by Microsoft!
The teaser also shows a Warthog, the beloved offroad vehicle from previous " Halo " games, as well as a quartet of people. The game will be powered by the " Slipspace Engine ", a new engine for the franchise.

We've learned a lot about Anthem at E3 2018, and to be fair, it's pretty hard to see how a PvP mode makes much sense in the game's setting so far.

Sounds very Monster Hunter: World-esque. But delays have not dampened anticipation for the game, because everything we've been shown looks fantastic. There will be paid cosmetics, in addition to other options to customize your Javelin. Everyone will experience the same world whether there is a weather pattern shift or a new large enemy.

Bioware seem committed to supporting Anthem over a number of years with new missions and story content.
